    I was going to use it until I became aware of the girls clothing. It may be fine for TV, but not appropriate for schools. Our dress code doesn't allow for bare midriffs, thin spaghetti straps or open toed shoes. The boys at our school would be too focused on all of that and wouldn't get the actual purpose of the message.
